[Serusers] rtpproxy mess

[Christian de Balorre]

Thanks for your answer Marian.
You are right indeed : if I run ser as root I don't get the errors.  Any
solution to run rtpproxy as user other than root ?

Last question about rtpproxy :
It is running on a xhomed box (2 interfaces) : shall we tell rtproxy
explicitly what is inbound / outbound interface - if yes how - or can it
handle the situation automatically ?
